Bath Repair for Treviscoe homes
Our technicians come to Treviscoe for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
Bath repair in Treviscoe without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.
Older homes around Treviscoe may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Repair or replace in Treviscoe?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Replacement in Treviscoe means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Treviscoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Treviscoe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Treviscoe
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
Most clients in Treviscoe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Treviscoe
Do you work for landlords with property near St Columb Road station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you come out to small places like Treviscoe?
We do: small places like Treviscoe are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a village or hamlet like Treviscoe, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
